i posted this yesterday but then, as the day wore on and the light shifted, i decided it had too much of a blue cast so i got back at it today with my trusty tube of chromatic black and now it really is finished. promise. :)

I love this so much!!!!
thank you, hannah!!!! i'm so excited about the shift that has happened. sooooo different than The Maids. i love this work! it feels right. :)
it's hanging right next to the mad dog painting in my living room. they look so good together. i have no clue where this is all going but it's a great ride. i'm so glad you like it!!!
It's spectacular!
I find this scary - wonderful, but scary. As I often find looking through flesh to bone. It feels sometimes like too much exposure of that which normally stays hidden. It's a bit like the breaching of a taboo.
susan!!!!!! <3 thank you! it makes me want to do another one!
elisabeth, i agree. while i was working on it (outdoors), one of my neighbors actually cringed and shivered over it. she said "it looks so painful. just something about bones being exposed. and it's so BIG!" and i'm thankful for her reaction and for yours. it adds a new layer of meaning to the piece and i'm grateful for that. "exposure of that which normally stays hidden" is what i've been chasing for a while now in my work in general... and this piece goes about it in a very different, much more direct way. i appreciate your cringe. :) it lets me know i did something right. thank you, my friend.
